BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1921
! POPULAR CITIZEN DIES
Mr. John White Garland, one of
the best known and most highly es
teemed citizens of Barnesville, died
at his home on Holmes street Thurs
day night last week, December Ist,
after a week’s illness, the direct
cau-'> of his death being due to blood
poison, resulting from a small wound
on his hand. He had been in bad
some months ago and went to
Atlanta for treatment, from which he
• was apparently considerably improv
j ed. During his illness he had the
utmost consideration of his loved
ones and friends and the best atten
tion from skilled physicians, but all
was in vain.
Mr. Garland’s death cast a gloom
over the entire community and sur-
rounding section, as he was widely
known among the people. He was
fifty years old and was born and
reared at The Rock in Upson county.
A number of years ago he moved to
Barnesville and entered the stock
business, in which he was eminently
successful, as he was in other busi
ness enterprises. He had several
times been an alderman of the city,
and at the time of his death he was
serving the city in this capacity. For
years he had been a director of the
First National Bank of Barnesville.
He also had interests in Atlanta and
for a time he engaged in the stock
business there. He was a Mason and
a member of the First Baptist
church here, 'to both of which he was
a devoted and useful member.
The funeral services were held in
the First Baptist church last Satur
day morning at 10:30 o’clock, where
a large concourse of friends assem
bled to pay their last tribute to his
memory. The floral offerings were
numerous and most beautiful. The
services were in charge of Rev. Ar
thur Jackson, the pastor, who paid
a splendid tribute to him, and the
services were also participated in by
Rev. T. M. Stevenson, pastor of the
Barnesville Presbyterian church,
Rev. H. L. Edmondson, pastor of the
Methodist church, and Dr. J. H.
Latimer, pastor of the First Baptisr
church of Griffin. Dr. E. T. Holmes
and B. H. Hardy spoke words of ap
preciation of the deceased as a friend
a man and a citizen.
At the family lot in Greenwood
cemetery, where the body was interr
ed, the Members of Pinta Lodge, Mo.
88, F. &. A. M., ot which Mr. Gar
land was an esteemed member, had
charge and used their very impres
sive ceremony in performing the last
rites over their departed brother.
Mr. Garland is survived by his
wife, three small sons, his mother,
and two brothers, Dr. H. J. Gar
land of Griffin and Col. J. J. Garland
of Atlanta, to each of whom tender
sympathy of all the people is ex
tended in their great sorrow.
Barnesville and this entire communi
ty and seel ion have lost a good man,
a useful citizen and hundreds of
people a valued and an appreciated
friend.
Mr. Garland will be greatly missed
throughout the city and community
and his untimely death will be sin
cerely mourned by hundreds of per
sonal friends among the people who
knew him.
RESOLUTION ON

Whereas, his work with us week

spirit of earnestness and devotion to
the truth, and whose association with

into a more goodly company, and

PRODUCE FOR
ORPHANS HOME
Thursday of next week the car
which the Baptist churches of Cen
tennial Association is trying to fill
with produce for the Orphans Home
at Hapeville will be in Barnesville at
its last stop before going to Hape
ville.
Mr. J. A.' Moore, of the firm of
J. J. Moore & Sons at Topeka, is
chairman of the committee repre
senting all .these churches and there
is also one member from each
church. Mr. Moore has made ar
rangements for the car and the va
rious members of the committee are
expected to got together the products
and have them placed in the car. The
car will start from Yatesville, go to
Thomaston and perhaps other points
for a day each, where everybody will
have the opportunity of making con
tributions for the orphans. What
ever anybody disposed to give
will be appreciated. Sweet potatoes,
syrup, meal, flour, lard, meat, canned
goods, ground peas, pecans, chick
ens, turkeys, and any and everything
which will help to provide food stuff
or other aid for the orphans. It
should be a privilege to many people
to send something which they may
have on hand. There are more than
300 orphans there to be fed every
day and it takes car loads of products
for htem every month.
Mr. Jim Wellmaker is chairman
for the Baptist church here and he
will be glad to receive anything
anybody in the community wishes
to place in the car while it is here.
It will probably leave Friday of
next week for Hapeville. See Mr.
Wellmaker for any information
about getting in your donation here,
or call or see Mr. Moore about get
ting anything in while it may be at
other points. The car should he
full and it will be a great Christ
mas Gift for these orphan children.
